The graphics portal is a freely accessible scientific image database for drawings and prints in collections at museums, libraries, archives or university and non-university research institutions. It is operated by the German Documentation Center for Art History - Photo Archive Photo Marburg , an institution of the Philipps University of Marburg , on behalf of the “Graphics networked” working group founded in 2011 .
Goals and characteristics
The aim of the graphics portal is to bring together the holdings of as many graphic collections as possible according to scientific requirements and to make them publicly accessible via a common platform. For this purpose, the network partners have agreed on uniform standards for the harversting of the data in the common field catalog , which organize, classify and place the objects of individual collections in a higher-level context. On this basis, the submitted data are linked to one another in the graphics portal according to technical rules, so that various art-scientific issues can come into play. For example, all prints from the same printing form can be combined in one search result in the network system. Links to content, such as “preliminary drawing for” or “reproduction after” can also be displayed.
Content
In the graphics portal you will find digital copies and art-historical cataloging information from more than 300,000 drawings, watercolors, woodcuts, copperplate engravings and etchings from a total of 24 European graphic collections. The collections that have been integrated into the portal so far include museums, libraries and research institutions, such as the Kupferstichkabinette of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Prussischer Kulturbesitz , the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden or the Hamburger Kunsthalle . The Albertina and the MAK Library and Works on Paper Collection in Vienna , the graphic collections of the ETH Zurich and the Central Library of Zurich or the Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max Planck Institute for Art History are among the international partners.
